Atomic Machines
Prototype Machinist (11:00pm to 7:30am)
Atomic Machines, Emeryville, California, United States
Prototype Machinist (11:00 PM – 7:30 AM)
Atomic Machines – Emeryville, CA Pay:
$47–$59 per hour Shift:
Night Shift | Full-Time Location:
Emeryville, California
Company Overview
Atomic Machines is transforming modern manufacturing with its groundbreaking
Matter Compiler™
technology — a full-stack micromanufacturing platform that turns digital designs and raw materials into fully functional micromachines. This process enables the production of parts and device classes that traditional semiconductor fabrication cannot achieve, opening new frontiers in
MEMS, micro-mechanics, and advanced precision engineering .
With offices in
Emeryville and Santa Clara , Atomic Machines blends cutting-edge
CNC machining, automation, metrology, materials science, and R&D prototyping
to build hardware that hasn’t existed before.
About the Role
This
Prototype Machinist (Night Shift)
position begins with
day-shift training (8:30 AM – 5:00 PM)
for the first several months. Upon completion, the role transitions into a permanent
11:00 PM – 7:30 AM
schedule.
In this role, you will own machining projects from start to finish — including
CAM programming, tooling selection, fixture design, CNC machining, inspection, and documentation . You will produce tight-tolerance parts for the Matter Compiler™ and collaborate closely with engineers and prototype machinists to drive innovation in Atomic Machines’ R&D shop.
Key Responsibilities
Interpret
engineering drawings, blueprints, and 3D CAD models
to develop machining plans.
Create
CAM programs
using Fusion 360, Mastercam, HyperMill, or similar software.
Operate a wide range of CNC machines, including:
3-axis, 3+2, and
5-axis CNC mills
Live-tool CNC lathes
Waterjets and laser cutters
Machine precision components to tolerances as tight as
±0.0005" (±13 µm) .
Develop custom
fixtures, tooling, and workholding
for prototype manufacturing.
Perform
in-process and final inspections
using calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and CMM.
Provide
design-for-manufacturing (DFM)
feedback to engineering teams.
Fabricate tooling, fixturing, and hardware for R&D assemblies.
Document setups, offsets, inspection results, and best practices.
Maintain an organized, clean, and safe machine shop environment.
What You’ll Need
3+ years of CNC machining experience
in a high-mix, low-volume, or R&D environment.
Working knowledge of
5-axis machining
or mill-turn systems.
Proficiency with at least one
CAM platform
(Fusion 360, Mastercam, HyperMill, etc.).
Strong
GD&T , blueprint reading, and tolerance interpretation skills ( Experience machining
aluminum, stainless steel, titanium , and similar materials.
Skilled in
manual machining
(mills, lathes, drill presses, saws).
Welding certification
or welding experience strongly preferred.
CMM or advanced metrology experience a plus.
Strong communication, documentation, and problem-solving abilities.
Ability to lift up to 50 lbs.
